Hardscape Designs

Elevating outdoor living spaces into an extension of your community means balancing form and function. After all, a constructed landscape is harder to enjoy if access is limited. Hardscaping creates opportunities to weave together the natural beauty of the environment with structures designed for safety, comfort, and visual interest. At McClure, we specialize in transforming your landscaping project into a captivating outdoor retreat.

From elegant paths to secure fencing, hardscape designs elements offer a vital human element to outdoor landscaping. But these projects can also be highly collaborative, with input from half a dozen different organizations. McClure has extensive experience navigating such complex jobs. Get in touch to learn more about how we make hardscaping look easy.

What Goes into Hardscaping?

Determining the feasibility of a site: All landscaping projects must consider the existing environment before work can begin. Soil quality, drainage and the local climate are just a few things we’ll review. In some cases, these factors make a project much more difficult or even impossible. But through innovative technology and value engineering, we’ll find a way forward.

Identifying priorities: We ensure our team possesses a deep understanding of your vision, and what, if any, hardscaping priorities need to be made. For example, clear paths and seating should be an essential element of public spaces so that the entire landscape can be accessed and enjoyed.

Creating a sense of place that connects with surroundings: Collaboration is at the heart of these projects. Through public input and careful consideration of what makes your community unique, we reflect those values in an attractive, functional way.

A Few Examples of Hardscaping

• Water Features: Water features like fountains add a sense of serenity, but they can also be highly practical. For example, bioswales offer stunning natural beauty while helping manage storm runoff.
• Pathways: Whether they’re connecting two properties or just offering a pleasant route through the space, paved pathways should be resilient and well-draining.
• Retaining Walls: Even something as simple as a wall can be an outlet for creative expression. Adding character to the space with intricate stonework or public art provides vibrancy and visual interest.

How McClure Approaches Crafting Hardscapes

Synergy with natural elements and existing landscape: Remember, hardscaping is only half of every landscaping project. Recognizing the unique character of the space and elevating it to its best takes real experience. We strive for seamless integration, as if the hardscaping was always meant to be there.

Curating the ideal materials through value engineering: The selection of materials is a crucial aspect of hardscaping. From the natural allure of stone to versatile engineered pavers, curating diverse options gives us the best chance at remaining aligned with your vision.

Creating flow, structure and easy access: A well-designed hardscape should seamlessly enhance the flow of your outdoor space. Our strategic layout and placement of structures create intuitive transitions, adding both aesthetic charm and functional value.

Collaborating with every voice: Our partnership extends beyond being mere designers and builders. We are your collaborators in bringing your hardscaping dreams to life. We ensure your vision takes center stage while benefiting from our experience and technical know-how.
